Abstract 3D point cloud data obtained from laser scans, images, and videos are able to
provide accurate and fast records of the 3D geometries of construction-related objects. Thus …

Building information models (BIMs) are maturing as a new paradigm for storing and
exchanging knowledge about a facility. BIMs constructed from a CAD model do not …

Featured Application This work proposes a semi-automatic approach for the 3D
reconstruction of existing buildings from point clouds in the context of BIM. This process …

Significant difficulties remain in exchanging information between building information
modeling (BIM) tools. The industry foundation classes (IFC) exchange schema is too generic …

Building information modelling (BIM) has been adopted in the construction industry. The
success of BIM implementation relies on the accurate building information stored in BIM …

With the spread of camera-equipped devices, massive images and videos are recorded on
construction sites daily, and the ever-increasing volume of digital images has inspired …

Abstract Development of automated building code compliance checking systems requires
appropriate representations for building codes. Building codes are complex documents …

Over the past decade a considerable number of studies have focused on generating
semantically rich as‐built building information models (BIMs). However, the prevailing …

In order to handle more efficiently projects of restoration, documentation and maintenance of
historical buildings, it is essential to rely on a 3D enriched model for the building. Today, the …

As-built building information models (BIMs) based on the 3D point clouds of built
environments need to be able to completely and automatically model building elements for …
